Exposed Fauci diary shows he estimated COVID-19 death rate to be much lower than what he told Congress

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Entries from early 2020 in a now-exposed personal diary kept by Dr. Anthony Fauci during the COVID-19 pandemic show that he privately estimated the death rate from the illness was significantly lower than what he told Congress under oath only weeks later.
Fauci, 85, has come under intense scrutiny for years regarding his approach leading the U.S. response to the coronavirus pandemic, and his alleged links to the Chinese lab where the virus originated. He will return to Capitol Hill on Wednesday before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to speak about his newly publicized personal records.
«The stated mortality over all of this when you look at all the data including China is about three percent. It first started off as two and three,» Fauci said in testimony before the House Oversight Committee on March 11, 2020, according to a transcript of the hearing.

LEGACY MEDIA IGNORES MASSIVE ANTHONY FAUCI DOCUMENT RELEASE ALLEGING HE MISLED CONGRESS ON COVID ORIGINS
During the hearing just weeks into the virus reaching the U.S., he was asked by Rep. Michael Cloud, R-Texas, to compare the mortality from COVID-19 to the mortality of the seasonal flu.
«I think if you count all the cases of minimally symptomatic or asymptomatic infection, that probably brings the mortality rate down to somewhere around one percent, which means it is 10 times more lethal than the seasonal flu,» Fauci continued. «I think that is something that people can get their arms around and understand.»
But on Feb. 8, 2020, about a month before that congressional testimony, Fauci expressed privately that he believed the virus’s mortality rate was much lower than what he later told lawmakers.
«[Former CDC Director] Tom Frieden called me this AM and we discussed various aspects of the outbreak,» Fauci wrote. «He and I are on the same page in thinking tht [sic] this is acting like a bad influenza in its transmissibility and that the denominator is much greater than 34,867 (above) making the case fatality rate (CFR) more like 0.2-0.3 % rather than 2.0%.»

FAUCI’S NEWLY RELEASED COVID DIARIES REVEAL BIZARRE FIXATION ON FAME AS PANDEMIC DEATHS MOUNTED
At that time, Fauci had counted 34,687 cases of the virus and 724 fatalities, according to his diary, which equals just over 0.2%.
Fauci was the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) during the pandemic, and first became the face of combatting COVID-19 at the onset of the pandemic during President Donald Trump’s first term, and remained in the role under President Joe Biden until retiring in 2022.
The very influential position wasn’t lost on Fauci. His diary entries tracked his rising influence and press appearances, and he meticulously kept track of how he was portrayed.
«Big front page article abut me appeared in the Washington Post. Very flattering. The situation with my national and international fame is explosive and really unimaginable,» he wrote in a diary entry on May 21, 2020.
«It is not hyoperbole [sic] to say that today I am the most famous and talked about person in the country and one of the most recognizable peson in the world,» he continued.

Fauci noted that he was developing a «very unique and interesting relationship» with Trump.
His diary is adorned with screenshots of headlines that mentioned him, including a New York Times story from March 2020 titled, «Not His First Pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci Sticks to the Facts.»
He referenced another Washington Post article in his diary on Aug. 8, 2020, titled, «As Fauci battles the pandemic and politics, his grateful neighbors celebrate him as a hero.»

The suspect subdued after allegedly stabbing three women in Paris on Monday uttered, «it is Allah who commanded me» to a crowd that appeared to be holding him down after the apparent terror attack.
The incident comes just days after another stabbing attack in England and a vehicular attack on a Pride parade in Berlin, Germany.

French outlet «Le Figaro» reported his utterances translated to «it is Allah who commanded me» as police sources told the outlet the suspect has an «unbalanced» profile.
While many observers, including on X, immediately pointed to Islamic terrorism, French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said he wanted to be «very careful about the motive for this violent act,» pointing to the suspect’s «incoherent remarks.»
Another translation of the exchange quotes one man as responding, «there is no Allah, bro,» after the suspect allegedly attributed the stabbing to Allah, while another person says the crowd must «stampede this son of a b—-.»

Two victims were listed in «absolute emergency» condition, while the third was listed in «relative emergency» condition, according to local press.
Reuters reported it had verified imagery of the suspect stabbing one woman while holding a knife in each hand.
The Paris-area attack comes two days after six men were arrested for «suspicion of murder» in connection with the stabbing of a 22-year-old man in Clapham, southwest London, United Kingdom, last week.
Metropolitan Police told the BBC the victim died after being stabbed at around 4:30 a.m. local time Saturday near Clapham High Street.
In Berlin, one person was pronounced dead and 29 were wounded after a suspect — later killed by German police — allegedly drove a vehicle into the public gathering.
The suspect in that case, Abdul Ballout, had German citizenship but «Lebanese roots,» according to the Associated Press.
The outlet reported German officials are considering whether it was an act of Islamic extremism.
The cascade of violent incidents comes months after the White House released a National Security Strategy warning of «civilizational erasure» in Europe due to mass migration and demographic shifts, while highlighting a spate of terror attacks carried out by migrants.

The White House pointed to a range of European data to support the administration’s concerns, citing studies showing asylum migration costing the Netherlands €475,000 per migrant, illegal immigration costing France €1.8 billion in 2023 and non-Western migrants committing disproportionate shares of violent crime in Denmark and Germany.

Uruguay puso en marcha los patrullajes con blindados militares en los barrios de mayor criminalidad de Uruguay

Vehículos militares comenzaron a patrullar los barrios con mayores niveles de criminalidad en Uruguay. El primer día de tarea el equipo tuvo un problema: quedó fuera de servicio por ajustes técnicos tras su primera recorrida. Este domingo, el vehículo Cóndor ya había vuelto a patrullar el barrio Marconi de Montevideo.
El viernes, el Ministerio del Interior había presentado uno de los vehículos blindados tipo Cóndor que serán incorporados a los operativos de seguridad pública y al patrullajes de zonas definidas como de “mayor complejidad” por las autoridades.
El ministro Carlos Negro explicó que viernes que la incorporación de estos blindados fortalece “la protección de la ciudadanía” y la “seguridad de los funcionarios policiales”, según la información divulgada por Presidencia de la República. “Lo que queremos es, por un lado, la protección de los vecinos con mayores recursos materiales y, por otro, la protección de los funcionarios policiales que llegan a las zonas más complejas”, expresó el jerarca.

Esta unidad fue decida por el Ministerio de Defensa Nacional y es parte de un total de cuatro vehículos que se desplegarán progresivamente en la capital uruguaya.
El peso del vehículo es de 9.000 kilos, según informó el director general de Operaciones Especiales, Jorge González. Está pensado para que sea utilizado en tareas de patrullaje preventivo, en el traslado seguro de efectivos y en la respuesta a situaciones de enfrentamientos armados
“La idea es proteger a los ciudadanos, concurrir a lugares de enfrentamientos armados y tener una protección adecuada para nuestros propios policías”, señaló González.

El Cóndor fue equipado con cámaras y una tecnología adicional que mejora la visibilidad en el entorno y facilita la conducción durante los operativos, según la comunicación oficial. Los choferes debieron completaron una capacitación específica de tres semanas en el Batallón de Florida, a unos 100 kilómetros de la capital uruguaya.
Los capacitados fueron un total de 19 efectivos.
El primer vehículo ya está operativo, pero hubo un problema en su primer día.
Según informó Montevideo Portal, el primer blindado sufrió varias fallas mecánicas y quedó fuera de servicio en menos de 24 horas de haber comenzado a utilizarse. Una de las fallas fue la rotura de una manguera. Esto motivó algunos cuestionamientos de parte de la oposición.

“Así gobiernan. Son un libreto de murga no divertido. Cantinflas no lo haría nunca mejor. País roto”, escribió el senador Sebastián Da Silva, integrante del opositor Partido Nacional. “Cerrá y vamos”, criticó el presidente de esa fuerza política, Álvaro Delgado.
Tras esta controversia política, el Ministerio del Interior informó que el vehículo Cóndor “se encuentra plenamente operativo y realizando tareas de patrullaje en la zona oeste de Montevideo”.
Está previsto que los otros tres blindados sean incorporados de forma paulatina, a medida que finalicen los trabajos de mantenimiento. “Esperamos que en el correr de agosto estén prontos los otros tres vehículos”, declaró el ministro.

El despliegue diario o para operativos específicos será definido por la Policía Nacional, según las necesidades que haya.
El presidente de la República, Yamandú Orsi, había anunciado el 22 de junio la nueva medida de seguridad. “A partir de un encuentro con los ministros de Defensa, Interior y Economía resolvimos redoblar el combate contra el crimen organizado. Para esto direccionamos la infraestructura de seguridad del país a este fin”, expresó.
Después, el ministro descartó que esta medida signifique una militarización de las calles de Montevideo y el área metropolitana. “Si hay algo que teníamos previsto era despejar cualquier duda que se pudiera generar con ese tipo de términos. Solamente se trata de contar con infraestructura que posibilite en una coyuntura específica y una circunstancia especial que el Ministerio del Interior tenga los vehículos apropiados para patrullar, con sus funcionarios”, dijo el secretario de Estado.
